Trucker arrested in standoff a suspect in sex crime

The man arrested after Thursday's standoff is connected to a sex crime involving a minor.

The call of an in-progress kidnapping brought Lee County deputies to the Walmart off Six Mile Cypress Parkway.

Soon after, they found and stopped a semi-truck carrying other vehicles down the street at the intersection of American Colony and Daniels Parkway, causing long lines of traffic down an already busy roadway, according to deputies.

We were told they heard a deputy tell the driver, "You're not in trouble."

Two people got out of the truck – including a woman who said the driver held her against her will. She also said she was in fear of leaving him because of his threats, according to the release.

Deputies told us 46-year-old George Anthony Delorme, of Fountain, Colorado, was handcuffed and arrested when the incident ended.

We've requested the report on the incident and were told that it includes a sex crime.

Delorme's bond was set at $50,000 in court and is being held at the Lee County Jail where he's looking at one count kidnapping - inflicting bodily harm or terrorizing a victim.

During his first appearance, we found out that the Department of Children and Families was contacted during this investigation.

Delorme must stay at least 1,000 feet from the victim or use social media or any other means.
